Organic carbon, and not copper, controls denitrification in oxygen minimum zones of the ocean
(Elsevier, 2008)Incubation experiments under trace metal clean conditions and ambient oxygen concentrations were used to investigate the response of microbial assemblages in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) to additions of organic carbon and ... -
Treatment of colored effluents with lignin-degrading enzymes: An emerging role of marine-derived fungi
(Informa Healthcare, 2008)Some of the industries that discharge highly colored effluents are paper and pulp mills, textiles and dye-making industries, alcohol distilleries, and leather industries. Terrestrial white-rot basidiomycetous fungi and ... -
Impact of lower plate structure on upper plate deformation at the NW Sumatran convergent margin from seafloor morphology
(Elsevier, 2008)Results from multibeam bathymetric data acquired during 2005 and 2006, in the region of maximum slip of the 26 Dec. 2004 earthquake (Mw 9.2) are presented. These data provide high-resolution images of seafloor morphology ... -
T-antigen binding lectin with antibacterial activity from marine invertebrate, sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra): Possible involvement in differential recognition of bacteria
(Elsevier, 2008)In invertebrates, cellular and humoral components are evolved to maintain their body immunity and integrity. Both these factors respond to different antigens such as microorganisms, vertebrate erythrocytes and foreign ... -
The Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2008)There are two unique aspects of geography of the Indian Ocean that profoundly influence its climate and circulation: (a) The Indian Ocean’s northern expanse is curtailed by the Eurasian landmass around the Tropic of Cancer ... -
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of remotely-sensed sea surface height, visible light and chlorophyll in the Bay of Bengal
(MSc Dissertation, Goa University, Goa, India - National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India; 41pp, 2008)Global warming and associated climate change is one of the immediate threats that the human being are confronted with and it is important to understand so that effective remedial measures could be put in place. The response ... -
Effect of Bombay high crude oil and its water-soluble fraction on growth and metabolism of diatom Thalassiosira sp.
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2008)Effect of Bombay high crude oil (BHC) and its water-soluble fraction (WSF) on growth and metabolism of the phytoplankton, Thalassiosira sp. was assessed. The study revealed the signs of acute toxicity at higher concentrations ... -
Opisthorchis viverrini: Detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in human stool samples
(Elsevier, 2008)A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was evaluated for detection of Opisthorchis viverrini eggs in the stool specimens of light and heavily infected individuals in Khon Kaen province of Thailand. A total of 75 fecal ... -
Bacterial production, glucosidase activity and particle-associated carbohydrates in Dona Paula bay, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2008)Size-fractionated bacterial production, abundance and Alpha - and Beta - glucosidase enzyme activities were studied with respect to changes in hydrography, total suspended matter (TSM), chlorophyll a, particulate organic ... -
Use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to study cadmium-induced changes in Padina tetrastromatica (Hauck)
(Libertas Academica, 2008)The aim of this study is to adopt the approach of metabolic fingerprinting through the use of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technique to understand changes in the chemical structure in Padina tetrastromatica (Hauck). ... -
Investigation of a method for predicting AUV derivatives
(Elsevier, 2008)The paper addresses the problem of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) modelling and parameter estimation as a means to predict the dynamic performance of underwater vehicles and thus provide solid guidelines during their ... -
Variability in biological responses influenced by upwelling events in the Eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2008)This study documents the result of field observations from the southeastern Arabian Sea during onset, peak and late phases of summer monsoon. The pronounced variations in phytoplankton standing stock (chlorophyll a), primary ... -
Observational evidence for remote forcing of the west India coastal current
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)Circulation in the north Indian Ocean is influenced by both local and remote wind forcing. So far, however, determining the contribution of these two forcing mechanisms at a location has been possible only in numerical ... -
Anti-plagiarism certification be an academic mandate
(American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2008)The analysis from 4,000 odd pages taken from various search engines, for measuring the document similarity depicted interesting results. Two keywords were presented to the documents and calculated the number of such ... -
Growth and proximate composition of the Chaetoceros calcitrans f. pumilus under different temperature, salinity and carbon dioxide levels
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008)The marine diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans f. pumilus has been examined for its potential source as live feed in aquaculture. The present study investigated eíects of temperature (20,25 and 30 degrees C), salinity (25 and ... -
Structure and isostatic compensation of the Comorin Ridge, north central Indian Ocean
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2008)Bathymetry, gravity and magnetic data (about 9200 l km) of the Comorin Ridge, north central Indian Ocean were investigated using the transfer function and forward model techniques to understand the mode of isostatic ... -
Integrated coastal area management: The case of India
(Capital Publishing, 2008)Typical developing nations like India have accelerated activities in the field of industries, shipping, ports, fishing, mining, urbanisation and tourism. All these affect the coastal areas. Coastal zone takes the brunt of ... -
Abiogenic origin of petroleum hydrocarbons: Need to rethink exploration strategies
(Current Science Association, 2008)The origin of petroleum hydrocarbons is a matter of debate since its discovery. During last several decades it is firmly believed that the origin of petroleum hydrocarbons is 'biogenic' due to chemical similarity between ... -
Marine-derived fungi as a source of proteases
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2008)Microbial enzymes have continued to assist diverse reactions as biocatalysts. Marine derived microbes offer a prospective resource for such enzymes. In this study thirteen fungi were isolated from marine organisms (soft ... -
Spatial variations in time-integrated plankton metabolic rates in Sagami Bay using triple oxygen isotopes and O2:Ar ratios
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2008)Plankton metabolic rates, such as rates of gross, net community production and community respiration, were measured in the surface waters using triple oxygen isotopes and O2 : Ar ratios. The 17 delta anomaly showed clear ...
